GODFREY — Janelle Wilson made her return to the Bud Simpson open tennis tournament count. The defending champion, top-seed Wilson is once again the reigning champ after a 6-0, 6-0 victory over No. 2 Princess Imoukuede in the Women’s Open Singles final of the Bud Open Sunday at Lewis and Clark Community College.

“I’d say the tournament was a success,” director James Humphrey said. “We had great finals, great semifinals and great weather.”

Indeed. With temperatures in the 70s and bright sunshine, play went smoothly at the Andy Simpson Tennis Complex. The seeds held true in both open singles divisions.

Top seed Chi-Shan Jao won the Men’s Open singles title with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over second-seeded Mandeep Yadav.

“our numbers were about where the usually are for the tournament,” Humphrey said. “We had more players in the age divisions, and were about the same in Women’s Open. We were eight down in Men’s Open players, so it kind of evened out.

“But we had some really good, close matches and we had pretty high-quality tennis.”

In the Men’s Open Doubles final Yadav and Kj Stewart beat Brett Hartig and Kirk Schleuter 6-3, 6-3.

Faulkenberg and Jacob Guse beat Richard Gray and John Lowell 6-1, 6-6 in the Men’s Open doubles consolation final.

Katarina Rosenberger and Shawn Walburn claimed the Mixed Open Doubles crown with a 2-6, 7-6 (4), 6-0 win over Margaret Cimarolli and Kirk Schlueter in the final. Madyson Schreiber and Weiler beat Cimarolli and Gontarz in the consolation final 6-4, 6-3.
